Born Blind

We are all born blind, we are all born blind.
Few will learn to see, few will learn to see.
I have got new eyes, I have got new eyes
Everything looks far away....far away
Shangri-la and Valhalla, they're hiding from our view
And the slope is getting steeper, and I'm wearing the wrong shoes
But I'm picturing your smile
And it carries me right on through
This song has been laying down. This song has been laying down
Wake up now let's hear the sound, wake up now let's hear the sound
But the signal is cracking up, everything is breaking up
Stay close to me I want you here
Stay close to me I need you here
Shangri-la and Valhalla, they're hiding from our view
And the slope is getting steeper, and I'm wearing the wrong shoes
But I'm picturing your smile
And it carries me right on through
Stay close to me I want you here
Stay close to me I need you here
Shangri-la and Valhalla, they're hiding from our view
And the slope is getting steeper, and I'm wearing the wrong shoes
But I'm picturing your smile
And it carries me right on through....right on through

Looked For The Moment
03:22

I'm lying beneath the table, dust dancing in the sun
Open window, fresh cut grass, autumn fires burn
I looked for the moment. The moment was gone.
Staring at the stars, rolling down a hill
Life was an open book then, time stood still
I looked for the moment. The moment was gone.
Soil between my fingers, juice running down my lips
Sunshine behind closed eyelids, dancing with the kids
I looked for the moment. The moment was gone.
Buddy we got old somehow. Now we've got to get young.
So here's the words....you find the chords to strum
I looked for the moment. The moment was gone.
Then I woke for a moment
And the moment was

Come On Down
04:22

Come on down here with us, you know you're already half way there
Come on down here with us, we saved you a chair
And we'll try to find the right words
You seem to have lost your tongue
The days are getting shorter
You're still going wrong
Come on down here with us, you know you really want to
Come on down here with us, you got nothing better to do
Now you tell 'em go back from where you came
Why don't you do the same
We all come from somewhere
Oh to be great again
Come on down here with us, your pedestal is crumbling
Come on down here with little old us, you're rolling and you're tumbling
Those don't sound like the right words
Shut up and hold your tongue
Your time is gone it's over
No more going wrong

One BJ Coming Up
03:30

How can I run the country? I can't even run myself
How can I form a government? I've got too much dust on my shelf
You know I've got too much money, I never knew the meaning of wealth
How can I run the country? I can't even run myself
Get it done, get it done, get it d-d-done, that's what they told me to say
Control, control, we're taking it back
Everyone get outta my way
Hey, who's that Bojo over there?
Let's stand him up at the front
Is it true what they say about the rulers of the world?
There's one of them in every country, one in every country
Take me home country road
How can I run the country, when I'm stuck here in the fridge?
If only you'd all just believe a bit more,
we could make a start on that bridge
I've got someone's phone in my pocket
But I just can't look at the pic
And I really would try to answer your question
If I wasn't an evasive prick
Such a trick
We got one BJ coming up, will you bow down to the clown?
I'm standing here at No. 10 wearing a smile
I really should be wearing a frown
I'm trying to run this damned country
It's not good for the national health
How can I run this country?
I can't even run myself
How can I run the country?
How can I save the country?
How can I raid this country?
When I'm doing such a bad job of myself
